AbstractAs individuals increasingly recreate in wilderness settings, the medical community is faced with increasing numbers of injuries and illnesses occurring in remote and austere locations.

This article adds clarity to the definition of wilderness medicine and examines the current state of wilderness medicine, including the scope of practice in the United States.
